Hi folks,
I received my converted 45-70 from Jeff this past October and I'm getting my stuff together to be able to try it out real soon. I was planning on using lmrp in the modules but I recently watched one of Jeff's videos where he mentioned using just lrp in the apex because of the smaller powder charge. I'm wondering if there is a down side to using magnum primers all the time? My thinking is the more fire the better, but I'm now concerned about the extra force of the primer pushing the charge forward ahead of the burning powder? I know it can happen in bp rifles using excessively hot primers but what about with smokeless?? And if so Can it create dangerous spikes in pressure due to the extra space created behind the powder charge???
